Certification, apostille & responsible authorities
Which authority in Flensburg is responsible for what?
Flensburg falls within the district of the Flensburg Regional Court (Landgericht) in Schleswig-Holstein. Who is responsible for certification and apostille depends on the type of document. FÜD provides the recognition-ready translation – the apostille is always issued by the competent authority, not by FÜD.
| Matter | Responsible authority for Flensburg | What FÜD handles / what to watch for |
|---|---|---|
| Certified translation | Fachübersetzungsdienst Flensburg Court-authorised translator (accepted nationwide) | We produce the certified translation with a certification note – accepted throughout Germany, regardless of the court of authorisation. |
| Apostille for civil-status & administrative documents | Ministry of the Interior, Municipal Affairs, Housing and Sport (Schleswig-Holstein) Düsternbrooker Weg 92, 24105 Kiel · pre-certification via the registry-office supervisory authority of the city of Flensburg | We tell you whether an apostille is required and translate the apostille note along with it. FÜD does not issue apostilles. |
| Apostille for court & notarial documents | President of the Flensburg Regional Court (Landgericht) Südergraben 22, 24937 Flensburg | Applies e.g. to commercial-register extracts, notarial deeds and court decisions. Translation includes the note. |
| Civil-status certificates (birth, marriage, death) | Flensburg Registry Office (Standesamt) Rathausplatz 1, 24937 Flensburg | We translate the certificate as a certified translation; the international (multilingual) certificate is available directly from the registry office. |
| Recognition of foreign school certificates | Certificate Recognition Office Schleswig-Holstein (Ministry of Education) | Certified translation for the recognition procedure; equivalence is decided by the competent authority. |
| Recognition of foreign professional & university qualifications | Competent chamber / recognition office (e.g. IHK, HWK, ZAB) | We provide the formally correct translation of your diploma, transcript and professional certificate. |
| Police clearance certificate for use abroad | Federal Office of Justice (BfJ), Bonn Adenauerallee 99–103, 53113 Bonn | Certified translation of the police clearance certificate, incl. any apostille note. |
| Residence, naturalisation, vehicle registration, immigration office | City of Flensburg (Citizens' Office / Immigration Office) Rathausplatz 1, 24937 Flensburg | Certified translation of the required documents – confirm the language direction and purpose in advance. |
Apostille sequence
If the receiving body requires an apostille, it belongs before the translation: it is affixed to the original document first, and we then translate the document including the apostille note.
Not sure whether or where you need an apostille? We review your case and tell you the competent authority – issuing it remains with that authority, not with FÜD.

Flensburg & the fjord
Flensburg and our translators.
Flensburg is Schleswig-Holstein's third-largest city after Kiel and Lübeck. Around 90,000 people live across roughly 57 square kilometres, some ten percent of them belonging to the Danish minority. The city sits in Germany's north-easternmost corner, at the inner end of the Flensburg Fjord on the Baltic Sea, bordering the Danish region of South Jutland. Shipbuilding, trade, the paper industry and cross-border business with Denmark all generate a wide range of demand for specialist and certified translations.
Beyond Flensburg we are active across Schleswig-Holstein: clients from Kiel, Neumünster, Norderstedt and Lübeck use the same digital process – all the way to the Hamburg metropolitan region.
